ABSTRACT:
A steering wheel pad is provided which includes a non-conductive inner member. The pad has a pressure sensitive horn switch disposed on the inner member. The horn switch has terminals. The pad includes a non-conductive outer member covering surfaces of the inner member and the horn switch. An air bag device is accommodated in the inner member. A conductive bag support is provided with the air bag device for attaching the air bag device to the inner member. The pad has a conductive bracket and a conductive coupling member having a rod section and engaging sections at opposing ends thereof. The bracket is disposed at an outer side of the outer member. The rod section of the coupling member is inserted into bores of the bag support, inner member, terminals, outer member and bracket. The engaging sections of the coupling member contact with the bag support and bracket so that the bag support, inner member, terminals, outer member and bracket are connected with each other, and the bracket is electrically connected to the terminals.
